It all started for me in Asia in 1997, at that time I was working in the wood, design and construction trades. One of my Taiwanese clients will be the trigger for my incredible adventure in Asia that year. From my first trip in 1997, I decided to set up a structure with him in Vietnam, living there more or less part time from 1998. In 2000 everything was already in place, and I managed both sides of my world from one month to the next. Two businesses, two homes, two lives. A widowed and lonely captain of a large family with 5 daughters including 2 little ones, I decided around 2003 to prepare for my definitive departure for Asia and to move from part time to a new full-time life in Asia and in 2007, here I was on the plane alone with my two youngest daughters, for a new full-time life in Vietnam. Madness according to those around me. The future will prove me right: as much as an expatriation cannot change an idiot into a good guy, (no comment...) it's a magic potion for children. We will live mainly among Vietnamese people, and really very little immersed in the expatriate environment for all these years, even while attending the French school in Saigon... Fascinating, magical but a risky life, even perilous and sometimes terrible. But an incredible entourage will give this journey the color of a comic strip, a novel, and sometimes a horror film. It must be said that I had chosen the difficulty: between 2000 and 2014, I set up, invested or participated in many areas: 2 Viet restaurants, 2 Viet caf茅 bars, 1 French cosmetics company, a little real estate and construction and above all (this will be the icing on my cake), the creation, design, production and export of art and decoration objects from Vietnam to France. My favorite activity, even if it wasn't lucrative, it was magical! Thanks to everyone's talents, it was nothing but happiness (even if my Vietnamese fianc茅e left one fine day, after 7 years anyway, with the cash register... but in Asia that's pretty normal ha ha). I would add that having been confronted with illness through my deceased wife and later through my Taiwanese partner who also died of illness, I had decided to put a little of my abilities into helping people who were in advanced stages and without possible remission of fatal illnesses and who were rejected by the Vietnamese hospital system (Thailand is at the same level from this point of view, no offense to the enlightened fanatics of Thailand, and there are many of them...). All this actually rocks the life (and especially the death) of 99% of locals in South East Asia, no SS here to help you... I didn't have to look very far: I had a few in my very close circle. All disappeared to this day in terrible circumstances, unimaginable for ordinary Westerners... This phase was also magical, very hard to live with but humanly extraordinary. It was in 2014, when my youngest daughter left to finish her higher education in France, that I decided to sell everything and go to Thailand. My partner being Thai, and I already knew Thailand well so it was easy. After all these years of madness and fury, I needed calm, security, a "standard" life and a little moral comfort, and I suspected it, it would be the (abrupt) return to contact with Westerners in Thailand, who crowd together in joy and sometimes in bad humor almost everywhere, and with their ideas and their way of life coming from elsewhere... and indeed it will not be easy... I very quickly understood that like in Vietnam , or anywhere in the world for that matter, the most dangerous individuals are not the locals, but your good friends from back home. After a few months in my wife's house in Bangkok, we decided to leave this crazy city, so we sold everything again and we started scouring Thailand, looking for our paradise. We tried a bit of everything before settling on Koh Samui, it was a big mistake, unbearable for a 鈥渇ake real Asian鈥� like me. After 18 months Hop, we sell everything and we leave... We will repair this error by choosing quiet Hua Hin, a town somewhat transformed into a giant retirement home, it must be said, and this new quiet life will leave me, finally I hope, time to continue the book that I started a few years ago on these 20 years spent in the turmoil of a world which is changing visibly (well, not everywhere and not always in a good way). And also take care of the 10-year-old half-Thai, half-farang boy who lives in our house... let's get to work!
